Pay or earn money, how to tell the difference?

Are these paid knowledge products such as "Teach you how to easily earn 30,000 yuan a month" and "You can become a millionaire self-media blogger at home" worth buying? What can you gain from them? Are they guaranteed to make money? I believe many people have questions about this. The author of this article has answered them one by one. You may want to take a look.

Hello, fellow villagers. I am the village chief.

Anyone who promises you that you can make money is out to take advantage of you and will always make you pay the price.

I know that saying this will offend many people, especially various knowledge bloggers.

But that's the fact. Whoever promises you that you can make money is just trying to take advantage of you.

1. Paid advertising is a cognitive checker

We often see paid advertisements for various products on official accounts, Toutiao, Douyin and other channels, such as physical goods, offline training courses, online materials, consultations, etc.

Including the village chief himself, 1-2 advertisements recommending public accounts and bloggers are published through the official account every month.

Some people choose to ignore ads, some choose to pay for them, and some are struggling and thinking.

For example, some bloggers will say that their projects earn millions of dollars a year, and have led hundreds of people to realize tens of thousands of dollars. Many projects are accessible to novices, and they can easily earn 10,000 to 30,000 yuan a month, and so on.

Faced with such tempting promotional content, some people began to get excited, while others sneered.

In fact, when it comes to paid advertising, our cognition is the tester.

Your cognition determines your attitude towards these advertisements. Some people know what these projects are about, whether they can make money, which ones have opportunities, and which ones may be designed to be exploited as soon as they see them.

There are also people who, even though they know some projects are feasible or not, will still add a friend, get information, and study what is going on, whether they can make money, etc.

Therefore, your attitude towards these advertising contents reflects your level of cognition.

2. No one can guarantee that you will make money

But there is one thing I can assure you, no matter how profitable a project is, no one can guarantee that you will make money.

1. Others making money does not mean you make money

A certain project may indeed make money in someone’s eyes, and he may indeed make money, but his knowledge and ability are not the same as yours.

He is just saying these things from his own perspective, which is indeed correct, but it doesn't mean you can do the same.

2. Making money depends on luck and ability

Any project has some hard conditions for making money, such as connections, money, traffic, products, timing, platform and luck.

So you have to ask yourself, what do you need to do these things?

Many people spend money to buy projects and end up getting ripped off because they fantasize that they can make money without relying on their own abilities, but there is no such good thing.

So everyone, when you see various projects claiming to be able to make money in the future, you must remain calm and think.

Ask yourself what conditions you have.

For example, some people say that beauties can make money by live streaming dancing and flirting, but the prerequisite is that you have to be a beauty with breasts, buttocks, good looks and talent.

3. Making money starts with trial and error

For most people, making money starts with losing money.

If you don’t even have the courage to be ripped off, it means you are afraid of failure.

No one can guarantee that everything will go smoothly in the process of starting and running a business.

I met some people who wanted to know something but were afraid of being ripped off after paying.

But in fact, many paid projects are only 39, 69, or 99 yuan. I think it is worth spending 99 yuan to learn a lesson, meet a blogger, and buy course materials.

I hope you all remember that paid products costing less than 100 yuan are not considered as cutting leeks, even if you feel you have not gained anything.

If you want to eat grilled sausage, don't go to two or three restaurants. You will never know which one tastes better.

You can only know whether a pair of shoes fits you by trying them on yourself. Similarly, not every piece of clothing will suit you.

4. Find ways to make money from paid

Many people hope that after paying, they can obtain unique skills or a winning trick from others and make money immediately.

The more you have this kind of thinking, the greater the risk of being cut off.

Many people don’t understand the real reason why they have to pay.

If there really is a skill that can automatically make money by paying, I believe this product is worth charging 50,000, 100,000 or 1 million.

But this is not the case. The purpose of most courses, projects and communities is to inspire.

First, we reduce information and labor gaps by paying others to find information, cases, and experience for us, thereby saving ourselves a lot of basic physical and mental energy.

Secondly, we look at the experiences and projects that others have summarized, and combine them with our own conditions and resources to see what we can do.

For example, how others write content, how they make courses, how they write scripts, how they select products, how they generate traffic, etc.

5. Most people are being cheated because they lack execution

Finally, I still want to tell you that most people pay to participate in a project without making any money.

In addition to reasons such as cognition, connections, funding, and products, another very important reason is execution.

I have seen many people spend four to five thousand or even ten to twenty thousand yuan a year to join various paid circles and purchase various paid courses, but in the end nothing happened.

The reason is that the execution ability is too weak. They would do short videos to promote good products, create book list accounts, etc., but they would stop after half a month or a month, and then continue to look for other projects.

Let me tell you a real case of a ruthless person. He shot short videos for a year. In the first six months, the number of views for each video did not exceed 500, and the highest number of views for a video was only 10,000.

But after persisting for a whole year and shooting more than 600 works, the number of fans is still only 5,000.

Many people would have given up, but he persisted until now and has realized a total of more than 80,000 yuan.

As I said, many people look down on small money and cannot make big money. This is the current situation.
